"Corpus, meanwhile, noted Emerson found 15 of the 18 allegations brought against her were not sustained. "That alone should end this," Corpus said in a statement. "Instead, the (San Mateo County Board of Supervisors) is rushing to fire me without regard for fairness, precedent, or the will of the voters. I stand by my actions, and the difficult decisions I make as the elected sheriff. I should have been cleared of all the allegations.""
""The undersigned hearing officer need not determine whether appellant Sheriff Corpus and Mr. Aenlle were in a romantic extra-marital relationship," Emerson wrote. "However, the undersigned hearing officer finds, supported by the greater weight of the evidence, that appellant Sheriff Corpus and Mr. Aenlle were in a close personal relationship outside the boundaries of a professional working relationship.""
An independent hearing officer found cause to remove San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus from office under the county charter. Retired judge James Emerson issued a 42-page advisory opinion concluding Corpus violated laws related to her official duties by engaging in conflicts of interest and acts of retaliation. Emerson presided over a two-week removal hearing in August. Corpus noted 15 of 18 allegations were not sustained and said the Board of Supervisors is rushing to fire her. Emerson found Corpus used her position to create and fund positions for Victor Aenlle and had a close personal relationship with him outside professional boundaries.
